Description
1873-S Liberty Eagle, AU58
Low-Mintage Branch Mint Issue
1873-S $10 AU58 NGC. The San Francisco Mint struck a modest
production of only 12,000 Liberty eagles in 1873, a minimal mintage
in absolute terms, but fairly typical in the context of the Motto
series prior to 1878. The coins circulated heavily in the
hard-money economy of the American West at a time when gold coins
were seldom seen in circulation in other parts of the country. As
might be expected, the 1873-S is an elusive issue in all grades
today. The 1873-S is a condition rarity at the AU58 grade level,
and Mint State specimens are virtually unobtainable. This
impressive near-Mint specimen exhibits just a trace of friction on
the well-detailed design elements and the lustrous orange-gold
surfaces show the expected number of minor abrasions for the grade.
Overall eye appeal is quite strong. Census: 9 in 58, 1 finer
(5/25).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2656, PCGS# 8668, Greysheet# 9478)
